President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, for people-oriented governance and sustained commitment to the welfare of residents.
The President gave the commendation on Monday during a state visit to Borno State, where he commissioned transport vehicles, including 20 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 48-seater buses, 3,000 buses, 500 tricycles and 100 electric motorcycles.
“Government is all about the people, and Prof. Babagana Zulum is doing very well in caring for his people. I commend him for the excellent job he is doing for the people of Borno State. These vehicles will ease urban transportation and reduce the hardship faced by residents,” Tinubu said.
After commissioning the vehicles at Ramat Square, Maiduguri, the President also inaugurated the Mafoni Junior and Senior Secondary School, located near the palace of the Shehu of Borno.
The school, named Bola Ahmed Tinubu Day Secondary School in honour of the President, is one of over 100 mega schools constructed by the Zulum administration across the state.
The Commissioner for Education, Lawan Wakilbe, said the school has 48 classrooms with capacity to accommodate 300 students. He added that the facility is equipped with modern laboratories, full internet connectivity and solar-powered energy systems.
Following the commissioning ceremonies, President Tinubu attended the wedding of Sadeep Ali Modu Sheriff, son of his political ally and former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
The President later departed Maiduguri for Bauchi State, where he is scheduled to pay condolence visits to the state over the death of renowned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.
